2 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC  Gefitinib: oral EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor  Gefitinib more efficacious than chemotherapy in previously treated NSCLC [1]  EGFR mutation correlated with higher response rate to gefitinib [2]  IPASS trial conducted in East Asia compared gefitinib with carboplatin plus paclitaxel as first-line treatment in Asian nonsmokers or former light-smokers with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinoma –Evaluated efficacy, safety, tolerability 1.

7 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Current Analysis  Intent to treat  Primary endpoint: PFS  Secondary endpoints –OS –ORR –Quality of life –Symptom reduction –Safety –AE profile  Planned exploratory analysis of efficacy according to EGFR mutation status Mok TS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361:247-257.

8 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Main Findings: Progression-Free Survival  Significantly longer PFS with gefitinib (P <.001) –12-mo PFS: 24.9% with gefitinib vs 6.7% with chemotherapy –PFS superior with carboplatin/paclitaxel for first 6 mos but superior with gefitinib after 6 mos –Median PFS: 5.7 mos with gefitinib vs 5.8 mos with paclitaxel/carboplatin –Kaplan-Meier curves cross near median PFS Mok TS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361:247-257.

9 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Main Findings: Significance of EGFR Mutation Status  Significant interaction between treatment and EGFR mutation status –In EGFR mutation–positive subgroup, significantly longer PFS with gefitinib (HR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.36-0.64; P <.001) –In EGFR mutation–negative subgroup, significantly shorter PFS with gefitinib (HR: 2.85; 95% CI: 2.05-3.98; P <.001) Mok TS, et al.

11 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Main Findings: Toxicities  Gefitinib associated with acceptable toxicity profile –AEs more common with gefitinib: rash or acne, diarrhea, elevated liver enzymes –AEs more common with carboplatin/paclitaxel: neurotoxicity, nausea and vomiting, hematologic toxicity Incidence, % Gefitinib (n = 609) Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (n = 608) Any grade 3/4 AE28.761.0 AE leading to discontinuation6.913.6 AE leading to dose modification16.1 35.2 (carboplatin) 37.5 (paclitaxel) Serious AE, including death16.315.6 Mok TS, et al.

12 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Other Outcomes  OS similar between arms in preliminary analysis –Median OS: 18.6 mos with gefitinib vs 17.3 mos with paclitaxel/carboplatin –Gefitinib-treated EGFR mutation–positive subgroup –HR: 0.78 (95% CI: 0.50-1.20) –Gefitinib-treated EGFR mutation–negative subgroup –HR: 1.38 (95% CI: 0.92-2.09)  Ongoing analysis of OS  Response rate to both gefitinib and paclitaxel/carboplatin better in EGFR mutation-positive vs EGFR mutation-negative patients Mok TS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361:247-257.

13 clinicaloptions.com/oncology Practice in Evolution: Optimal Management of NSCLC Summary of Key Conclusions  Gefitinib superior to paclitaxel/carboplatin chemotherapy as first-line treatment in Asian pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients who were nonsmokers or former light smokers  Longer PFS, higher ORR, reduced toxicity, and improved quality of life with gefitinib vs carboplatin/paclitaxel  Overall benefit with gefitinib driven by EGFR mutation– positive patient subgroup –EGFR mutation–negative patients have poorer PFS and ORR with gefitinib compared with chemotherapy –EGFR mutation status predictive of response to gefitinib Mok TS, et al. N Engl J Med. 2009;361:247-257.
